This year, for the 29th time, the Kaunertal Glacier Snow Park opens its doors for thousands of freeskiers and snowboarders. From October 10th -12th 2014 is going to be the place to be for all winter sport-crazy people to welcome the park season. The summer draws to a close and the anticipation raises with every day. Although the mountains are still green and the boards and skies are still in the basement the preparations are running on full speed. A big start in the season is more and more taking shape.

Right when I was checking the confirmed death of skiers Andreas Fransson and JP Auclair I found a news report saying that “an american tourist named Elizabeth Devon Daley was caught in an avalanche and found dead in El Chaltén”. I whispered “No...”, knowing that Liz Daley was in that area.
